From Eric to Boston-Three Young
 BIcYcIists.
 Three enterprising young men from Erie, Pa, Messrs. Beckwith, Bailey and Pierce, passed through this city on Saturday last on bicycle trip to Boston. They made the run from Erie to Albany, N. Y., nearly four hundred miles, in eight days, including one day of rest Sunday. They took the boat to New York. From New York they rode to New Haven on their bicycles. While here they called on Mr. J. H. Broderick on Orchard street. They rode from here to Lynn, where they rest for few days before proceeding to Boston. MT. Bailey's father is president of the National bank of Erie.

 . It is said that not less than ten thousand bottles per week are now required to meet the demand for the newly introduced Lactart Champagne, which is strong evidence that this harmless drink is rapidly growing in popularity. This is doubtless owing to the fact that it is strictly non-alcoholic, and thousands of people who are rigidly opposed to the use in any form of intoxicants are glad to obtain beverage which rivals the imported champagne in nicety of flavor, and which also has the superior merit of being entirely non-alcoholic Lactart Champagne, moreover, is distinctly beneficial to the diges- tion, and is probably the most healthful and pleasing beverage now before the American people. The basis of this new beverage is the celebrated Lactart (the acid of butter milk, which is recommended by the medical authorities as exceedingly beneficial to i'm paired digestion. jy26 taW

 GEORGE M. GRANT. By s. HARRISON WAGNER,
 


 Attorney filling here read several letters from Judge Morris, chairman of the commit tee, to Tracy Brothers, which showed that they had not tried to take the town by storm, but were informed where plans could be ob tained for the new building and other matters relating to the contract. 'Now, it seems to me-" continued MT. filling, "the question depends on whether the bids were to be sep arate or combined. The whole work is to be done under the supervision of your own su- perintendent, and don't see what difference it makes whether one man does three parts of the work or only one as long as the entire work is done itself at the lowest possible price. It is mere folly to say that by de- ducting two parts of the bid from the third part you can tell the bid for one separate part, as Brother Wagner suggests, and it is for this committee to do the best thing for the town and if this is the lowest bid it should be accepted. The at torneys then departed and the committee had a lengthy discussion, all talking at the same time and in different views of the mat ter, from which it was gleaned that MT. Rey- holds did not want the bond of Tracy Broth CTS accepted at all, and did not want the latter to have the contract. while MT. Stod- dard thought they ought to accept the bid of Tracy Brothers for the work.
 MT. Reynolds finally moved that the com mittee reconsider every action taken and votes passed on July 6, which consisted of the awarding of the following contracts:
 The mason contract-George M. Grant, $105, $40.
 The joiner work-Larkins & Langley, $57,- IA
 Painters work-E R. Jeffcott, $24, 200.
 Plumbers work-D. s. Kelly, $5, 500.
 Steam heating-New Haven Steam Heat ing company, $14, ,980.
 This vote was seconded and every member of the committee voted in favor of it except MT. Dawson, and the motion was carried. This vote practically swept everything from the table and left matters where they were at the beginning.
 MT. Reynolds then moved that all further business in regard to the matter be suspend ed until the decision of the court was ren- dered, as it would be impossible to build this year under any circumstances. The mo- tion was seconded and lost by the following vote, which called for 8 majority of both the citizens and town committee. The vote stood:
 Citizens committee-Merris, no; Futile, no; Stoddard, no; White, no; Dawson did not vote.
 Town committee-Reynolds, yes; White, no; Klenke, yes; Feldman, yes; Cooper, yes; Beecher, no; Brown, yes; Cooper, no. A vote was next taken on the motion of Mr. Stoddard that the contract be awarded to Tracy Brothers, which motion was lost, the vote standing: Citizens committee White yes, Morris yes, Futile yes, Stoddard yes, Dawson no; Town committee-Reynolds no, White yes, Brown no, Klenke no, Feld- man yes, Beecher yes,
 A motion was then carried to adjourn sub feet to the call of the chairman, and proba. bly, no further meetings will be held until after the decision of the court is rendered.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliey-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's Au-
gust F2oteer and Boschee's GeY7aGa !S,rup, as
the reduction Of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the rs
cent size. The august F7erer for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup tor Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale OF any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, for 10 cents. remain the same size.
